building a single speed

Hi guys,
This is my first post so hi to all. I am upgrading my road bike with a new carbon fibre frame. However I wanted to turn my old frame into a single speed. I have a seat post, and will get new flat handlebars.
Looking just to get one brake, is front or back best?
My question is what do I need apart from wheels to do this conversion. I have a 56 size frame. Does anyone have a list of what I will need to get?
Your help is much appreciated.

have a read of this it is more MTB related so disregard the ratios.

and you do need 2 working brakes. unless you really mean that you want to build a fixed bike. (no freewheel)."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Front Brake is best! The purpose of a rear brake is to not rub :twisted:FCN16 - 1970 BSA Wayfarer
